Objective　In order to understand the identity of medical students for the standardized training for specialists

and provide theoretical support and policy reference for it. Methods　Using the method of stratified sampling and quota sampling

2 367 medical students were selected from 17 universities in 7 administrative regions of the country to carry out anonymous electronic questionnaire survey. The results were analyzed by SPSS 19.0

with methods of mean comparison

ratio constituent and Chi-square test. Results　In the survey

only 231 samples had a good understanding of specialist training for specialists

which accounted for 9.8%. And there were statistical differences between different types of medical students ( χ2=40.5

P<0.05) and different administrative areas ( χ2=33.7

P<0.05). 17.0% of the samples have shown that they would take participate in the special training system initiatively; 641 samples (22.9%) had a positive attitude towards the system

and 782 samples (33%) did not. The main reasons for non-support included low treatment (71.8%)

long training time for becoming a doctor (87.7%) and the difficulty of ensuring the training quality (59.1%). Conclusion　The research can shed some lights on standardized training for specialists including establishing a network communication platform to improve the efficiency

increasing financial investment

setting up a mechanism to link the capital input to training quality to ensure the treatment of trainees

exploring the training mode of combining standardization training and doctorate training to shorten the training period

reforming the personnel system and incorporating specialists training system into the promotion conditions of professional titles.
